I looked at a KP51WS500 today, comes on with green raster and retrace then shutsdown, typical defective crt's I'm going to replace all 3 crt's (Circuit City service policy) but it had "8" flashes on standby light not the usual "5". when tapped on crt's and cleared short picture and audio were good. Have you looked at the possibility of a shorted CRT? Maybe what's causing your "8" flashes Robert tvservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx H & H Electronics Inc http://supertek.igniteinc.biz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valley TV" <valleytv@xxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 5:14 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Sony KP-51WS510 "8 blinks" > Hi everyone..
